AMENDED AND RESTATED PRICING SUPPLEMENT
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Securities are not
intended to be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to
any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a
person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point
(11) of Article 4(1) of Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning
of Directive 2016/97/EU (as
amended or superseded, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that
customer would not qualify as
a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID
II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as
defined in Regulation (EU) No 2017/1129 (as amended) (the “Prospectus
Regulation”). Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,
the “PRIIPs Regulation”)
for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available
to retail investors in the EEA has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise
making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018
(“EUWA”); (ii) a customer within
the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations
made under the FSMA to implement
Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client, as defined in point (8)
of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or
(iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK
PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering
or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the UK has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the
UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
